Design Porn: Darling, You're Boring Me Brooch

Hoolala makes gorgeous, quirky jewellery largely inspired by Victorian England and heavy on gothic charms. Sadly my budget won't always stretch to their necklaces and bracelets, but this little brooch is only £2.50. I like the idea of casually gesturing to it when a dull chap approaches me at a bar with a tired chat-up line. Up your game, sir - this lady needs entertaining.
